We are leading western Europe in terms of hospital admissions...
... and in terms of deaths.
Why might this be?

Well, we are leading Western Europe in abandoning masks.
And we are leading Western Europe in terms of returning to public transport.
And we are leading Western Europe in terms of returning to large gatherings.
We are doing spectacularly badly relative to our peers when it comes to vaccinating children.
And of all of the deaths of those below 19 in England from Covid 18.75% (12/64) have occured since the start of September 2021. england.nhs.uk/statistics/wp-…
(We are doing better when it comes to giving boosters to those already fully vaccinated, ie older people.)

To return the country to a less angry and divided state would require a process for which, I fear, this Government has no appetite.
The Brexit process, which took a dishonest and absolutist mandate from a flawed referendum that delivered a tiny majority, has left us angry and divided.
The Government quite deliberately, and for its own political gain, chooses a policy of dividing the country through its dishonest culture war that attacks the basic humanity of the most vulnerable.

Imagine living in a country where the police took an interest in Government corruption.

🤔 @UKSFO. on.ft.com/2WXIZ13
You'd think a £100m transaction at a c.£45m overvalue where the Accounting Officer was misled and there were payments of £16m to a politically connected bagman and Priti Patel was falling over herself to help would merit a passing glance? Wouldn't you, @UKSFO?
I referred the above to @UKSFO - with all the evidence in writing - more than three months ago. Have they called? Have they emailed? Reader, they have not. Ghosted.

In the year 2000 the average woman barrister earned 61% of the earnings of the average male barrister. In the year 2020 the equivalent figure was still 61% (barcouncil.org.uk/uploads/assets…). Image
The reasons for this include: women being pushed into lower earning areas of practice, the average women barrister being more junior than the average man (because the Bar is poor at retaining women after they have children)...
(theoretically) more women working part time (although I can't imagine the effects are significant), a client led preference for men, and a failure on the part of some Chambers to take a sufficient interest in what their clerking produces.

Not hugely surprising. Really quite grim. theguardian.com/news/2021/oct/…
Who could possibly have guessed this transaction would not turn out well?
Yep, they reported it to SOCA. Would like to see that report.

So Priti Patel has announced an Inquiry following the tragic murder of Sarah Everard. THREAD
It won't initially be a statutory inquiry - apparently for reasons of urgency - but can be converted into one. I don't find that rationale that persuasive but what you call it is less important than who Chairs it and what its powers and terms of reference are.
The Chair will be confirmed in due course. So will the terms of reference although we have something of a steer...

I see Nick Cohen is again complaining in one of his newspaper columns about the cancellation of transphobes.
Barely a day passes in which one national newspaper or another does not carry a piece decrying how trans people have rendered voiceless the writer or their friends.
Meanwhile, when @GoodLawProject brings litigation asserting that trans people too are entitled to benefit from the foundational NHS promise of universal healthcare there is literally not one national newspaper we trust to carry the story fairly.
